BIRMINGHAM — The board received a facilities and operations update that covered recent and planned campus work: network upgrades, kitchen electrical improvements, a new privacy fence, deferred stucco repairs and a mitigated asbestos incident.

Facilities staff said the school is transitioning to Microsoft Teams, installing a second firewall and adding new smart panels and a Chromebook distribution (about 29 devices delivered). The campus also received kitchen electrical upgrades tied to new equipment and the facilities team described queue‑line improvements in the cafeteria.

Staff reported a privacy fence being installed between Birmingham property and a neighboring parcel (described in the presentation as a long, divided property), pending stucco repair scheduling, and an asbestos incident in room P30 that staff said was mitigated and cleared. Tennis court resurfacing was reported as underway but not yet complete.

Board members asked clarifying questions about timing and colors for resurfaced courts; staff said scheduling for some repairs remains pending and that contractors are coordinating deliveries and installations.
